So my 2008 Liftback is totaled. Lame - Toyota Yaris Forums

bronzebullet232 · 10-19-2009, 07:55 PM

I had a terrible Saturday. Stopped at a stop light in ventura, and lady in plymouth Voyager comes in hot and plows the back of my car. I had my 1500 dollar bike on the back and that is now fused into my car. The airbag went off and broke my sunglasses. Then I slid forward and hit the truck in front of me and destroyed the front of my car. FML.

Anyway, this is the reason why anyone without a Y chromosone shouldn't have a license.

I'm waiting to figure out all the insurance stuff but I made an excel sheet with all the parts I bought and my bike and stuff. I'm gonna get it all reimbursed hopefully.

I'm most likely going to buy a 2010 BLACK 3dr Lift back. I saw the interior is changed a bit. Do they still have the auxillary jack?

Ill post pics when i get home.

The positive thing is that a lot of people are quickly posting about it here which means they are OK! I think the "real world" safety rating of the Yaris must be pretty good.

I feel pretty safe in mine-the agility of the Yaris has saved me from even making contact a couple of times. Not much you can do though when you're stopped at a light minding your own business.

Bronzebullet-glad you're OK, hope you are treated fairly on the financial end.

Scares you to drive a Yaris? These are disposable cars.

I guess I don't share your mentality. This is the first car I have bought and still paying for. This is also the nicest car I have owned. I take lots of pride in my car for reasons that you couldn't begin to understand.

i feel the same way. being 25 and struggling bills and paying this thing monthly i dont see it as a throw away car. if so i wouldnt be out there every week vacuuming and reading it poetry lol

although truth be told i wouldnt mind getting out of the loan some how and buying one that was used for like 7k less than what i owe lol

+1.

I am very proud of my Yaris and did a lot of research on small cars available in the US before getting it.

Yes, I'm the same person who complains constantly on this forum about 1st gear being too touchy and getting caught in the cross wind, but I still love my ride

, so it's definitely not a disposable car for me.

OP, glad you're OK. Keep the Y chromosome comment to yourself when you call your insurance, especially if you hear a female voice answering the phone

We share the same mentality...I'm sure many of us do here...

bronzebullet232 · 10-25-2009, 09:49 PM

Lol. You guys and girls all crack me up. People in general are way too worried about being PC these days. Stereotypes are funny. Laugh a little.

As for my situation, still have to take the moron to small claims for the bike. My insurance is covering my car and all my aftermarket parts fortunately. I'll be rollin in a brand new 2010 Black 3dr in a week! : ) And I'll be able to buy all my mods right away! Things are looking up...

DandiDani · 10-19-2009, 09:01 PM

i know! its like theres one every week

*tk-421* · 10-19-2009, 09:08 PM

Glad you're OK! Go see a doctor.
